this isn't exactly a tv OR movie reference, but on the back of Green Day's Dookie album has a picture of a mosh pit with Ernie in it. i also heard that Ernie was talking about a "Green Day" on ss (NOT the band, probably a day when you wear green) and he gave the not-formed band an idea for their name!

The only reference to Yoda I can think of is in the movie E.T. The Extra-terrestrial, when the kids take E.T. out trick-or-treating and a kid dressed up in a Yoda costume walks by. And of course, when Elliot makes his brother "give him the power" (i believe that's a Dungeon & Dragons reference, which was huge in 1982, but I don't get into it) and his brother says "Yes, hmm, you have absolute power" in a perfect Yoda imitation.

Also, a gigantic Muppets reference was made on The Cosby Show, in 1990, as a tribute to Jim Henson, when on the episode "Cliff's Nightmare", Cliff has a wild dream where he meets Muppets like Sweetums, Digit, and even Gonzo! They want him to do deliver babies at the hospital and lots of familiar Muppets pop up. Look for the episode on WGN or Nick at Nite. It's very funny.

By the way, in reference to whoever posted about Growing Pains, the show ROCKS! and I care when someone kisses a woman who's not his wife! Looking at another woman with lust in your heart is a sin.
It's called adultery.

Just a few lil things:

First off is more of a question. Is Yoda actually considered a Muppet? I didn't think so...the Creature Shop didn't work on him did they? God, I'm an SW nerd and I don't know these basic facts. Boooooo (hehe)

Secondly, technically if the characters are in the production it isnt a referance. No worries though, its an awesome episode nonetheless.

Lastly, I'm not critisizing religion, I just reccomend you don't preach it on the board. We have many different nationalities, sexual orientations, races and creeds here, and people might get offended. Not saying you should hide your beliefs in a box or anything, just don't make a habit of imposing it on others.

On Histeria! (a cool education show no longer on the WB, replced locally by crummy saved by the bell ripoffs) there were two I know of:

One episode Toast was interviewing LBJ and the censor brought up that he founded PBS, Toast replies.. "Whoooa!! Yo created those boring British dudes and those Tickle me Spazz out Puppets?!?!?"

On another a character called Froggo was reffered to by Julius Caesar as "Kermit."

On the 1995 version of the Casper cartoons, Stretch tells the viewers theat he promises to give them the greatest knowledge ever known, and says something like, Does Sesame Street promise this?

On the long forgotten Mother Goose and Grimm cartoon, Grimmy builds a big bird trap (a BIG BIRD trap) and whispers to Attilla the cat, Attilla answers back, "No! I do not know how to get to sesame Street!"

Even though I hate Full House (except Joey!) I'll mention these:

On one episode, one of them told Michell that 2 and a half hours is "One Mr. Rogers and two Sesame Streets"

ANother, Joey did an impersonation of Kermit (for those who don't know Joey, aka Dave Coulier did the voices of Animal, Bunsen Honeydew, Statler and Waldorf on Muppet Babies)

Does anyone know of any Fraggle refferences? All I know is on one episode of Family Guy, Peter is trying to sell a house as a historic landmark, and states..."This is where the Pilgrims landed on Fraggle Rock!"

I'm sorry if someone already posted these on page 3, or 5... or 72, but I just don't have time to check out every page! So here's hoping I'm being somewhat original here! (And I wanna see that Family Guy episode where they say that!)

In a Friends episode (can't remember which one) I think... Joey (??? Maybe it was Chandler... I so don't remember this episode) has a girlfriend, and she has a really odd name so one of the 'friends' says "Is she from Fraggle Rock?"

And then a few years ago there was a reference on SNL. It was during that Hard Ball or Hard Talk or Hard Something or other, with Matt... something (I have a great memory, don't I? XP). I dunno, it was like a parody of all those hardcore political talk programs, and Chris Kattan was acting like an idiot so the head guy, Matt Something said "This debate is for adults! Go back to Fraggle Rock!"

this is not from a tv show OR a movie, it's from a song. Dead Kennedy's "MTV Get Off The Air" ----

See the latest rejects from the Muppet Show
Wag their t**s and their d**ks
As they lip-synch on screen

About a band who always smiles
Another tax write-off

MTV GET OFF THE AIR

Anyone ever see Cosby (not the Cosby show, the 1990's CBS sitcom)? I can think of some there

On one episode, Hilton (Cosby) and Griffin (Doug E. Doug) are coaching a boys basketball team. One kid starts harassing another, and calls him a girl for playing with dolls. The other kid assures him that they're action figures. The first kid says, "Since when is Tickle Me Elmo an action figure?"

Another one, Griffin is watching a kid, and he says, "Yah like Elmo? Barney's a punk! Elmo rules" or something to that extent.

Some things of interrest:

Elmo himself made an appearance in Cosby (in an episode where Griffin dreams of being rich and famous).

Likewise, Doug E. Doug (who plays Griffin) appeared on Sesame last year as Baby Bear's barber.

Sesame Street and Cosby are both taped at the same studio.

Cosby featured the last performances by Madaline Kahn, who was on the Muppet Show, the Muppet Movie (as Telly Savalas's Girlfiend) and on Sesame Street.
